Almost done fabricating a water elimination system for my air compressor lines! Woohoo. Should eliminate all water (I hope).

That's quite the contraption! Pardon my lack of knowledge but how/where will that be integrated into your system?

Air enters through snap fitting on left side, thin procedures through the piping. The theory is that water is heavier than air and will remain in the traps near the valves, which can then be wet off. After going through each of the loops air exits through the snap fitting on the right side. it works basically like a trap under a sink in order to eliminate air with water in it from entering an airline. The reason for all of this is that moisture a.k.a. water in an air driven HVLP spray gun for paint would not work well with the paint material. It’s really like the reason why you bleed moisture from the bottom of an air compressor tank.

I guess you've tried a regular air compressor water filter without success?
